Proprietary software in a non-default area. [3] Official website www.debian.org Debian (/ˈdɛbiən/) is an operating system composed of free software mostly carrying the GNU General Public License, and developed by an Internet collaboration of volunteers aligned with the Debian Project. It is one of the most popular Linux distributions for personal computers and network servers, and has been used as a base for other Linux distributions. Debian 2 Debian was announced in 1993 by Ian Murdock, and the first stable release was made in 1996. The development is carried out by a team of volunteers guided by a project leader and three foundational documents. New distributions are updated continually and the next candidate is released after a time-based freeze. As one of the earliest distributions in Linux's history, Debian was envisioned to be developed openly in the spirit of Linux and GNU. This vision drew the attention and support of the Free Software Foundation, who sponsored the project for the first part of its life.

Gonzalo Ord´o~nez{Matamoros Email: [email protected] Telephone: +31 53 489 3348 Office: Ravelijn RA 4333 (STEPS) 1 Abstract Open source software development is a major driver of software innovation, yet it has thus far received little attention from innovation research. One of the reasons is that conventional methods such as survey based studies or patent co-citation analysis do not work in the open source communities. In this thesis it will be shown that open source development is very accessible to study, due to its open nature, but it requires special tools. In particular, this thesis introduces the method of dependency graph analysis to study open source software devel- opment on the grandest scale. A proof of concept application of this method is done and has delivered many significant and interesting results. Contents 1 Open source software 6 1.1 The open source licenses . 8 1.2 Commercial involvement in open source . 9 1.3 Opens source development . 10 1.4 The intellectual property debates . 12 1.4.1 The software patent debate . 13 1.4.2 The open source blind spot . 15 1.5 Litterature search on network analysis in software development .

    Best of a decade on Opensource.com 2010–2019 In celebration of our 10-year anniversary Opensource.com/yearbook FROM THE EDITOR ............................. FROM THE EDITOR ............................. Dear reader, As we celebrate 10 years of publishing, our focus is on the people from all over the globe, in various roles, from diverse backgrounds, who have helped us explore the multitude of ways in which open source can improve our lives—from technology and programming to farming and design, and so much more. We are celebrating you because we’ve learned that growing this unique storytelling site demands that we do one thing better than all the rest: listen to and talk with our readers and writers. Over the years, we’ve gotten better at it. We regularly hold meetings where we review how articles performed with readers from the week before and discuss why we think that’s so. We brainstorm and pitch new and exciting article ideas to our writer community on a weekly basis. And we build and nurture close relationships with many writers who publish articles for us every month. As an editor, I never would have imagined my biggest responsibility would be community management and relationship building over copy editing and calendar planning. I’m so grateful for this because it’s made being a part of Opensource.com a deeply rewarding experience. In December, we closed out a decade of publishing by reaching a new, all-time record of over 2 million reads and over 1 million readers. For us, this validates and affirms the value we’ve learned to place on relationships with people in a world swirling with metrics and trends.
